The + and - are two different standards. You have to buy media that matches your unit. These days a lot of the units are multi-standard though, so then it doesn't matter much. I think it makes a bigger difference if you want to burn actual video DVDs to play in ordinary consumer DVD players. But I've never tried to do that, so I'm not sure. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
